The Fan Zone

Joe Sayers (Albion Obsessed): Well, we are back again after yet ANOTHER international break. Last one until March though, so now is the time to build some real momentum and push on for our goals.

Brentford have proven time and time again that they can recover from setbacks of losing big figures in their club and continue to succeed, much like our model.

Ive been relatively impressed with former Albion midfielder Keith Andrews after I tipped them to get relegated before the season started.

This will be a tougher task than many expect, and the hope is that we are getting more of our troops back fit and fighting for a crucial period of the season.

After two clean sheets in a row, weve proven that we are more than capable of building a solid foundation to push on and get hard-earned points.

We need to remain confident in the things we do well, because when we want to we can be so dangerous.

Consistency is key as we approach the ever-busy festive period, so heres hoping for a positive result this coming weekend.

Prediction: 3-1
